🔍 What It Does
Listens for @mentions of your bot in Discord channels (without a native trigger).
Filters noise: Only processes messages:
From authorized users (configurable).
That mention your bot.
Sent today (skips old messages).
Forwards cleaned messages to any webhook (e.g., your AI agent, like the GitHub MCP Server).
Replies in Discord with the webhook’s response.
🛠️ Key Features

🔒 Role-Based Access: Restrict bot usage to specific users.
🗑️ Deduplication: Avoids processing the same message twice.
🔄 Scheduled Checks: Runs every X minutes (adjustable in the Schedule Trigger).
🚀 Use Cases
Chat with your AI bot via Discord mentions.
Moderate channels: Auto-flag messages or ping moderators.
Build custom commands: Trigger workflows by mentioning your bot.
⚙️ Setup Guide

🔧 Configure Variables: In the "Set Values" node:
discordServerId: Your server’s ID.

authorizedUser: Who can trigger the bot (user ID).
🌐 Webhook Target: Point the HTTP Request node to your AI/webhook endpoint.
